Overview

Brief Summary

This study is a comparison of the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol injection with maxacalcitol injection in adult Japanese chronic kidney disease patients receiving hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of paricalcitol injection in reducing levels of parathyroid hormone without clinically significant hypercalcemia, compared to maxacalcitol injection.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 5 patients undergoing dialysis with stable dialysate calcium and phosphate binders
  • On three times weekly hemodialysis for at least 3 months prior with intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) greater than or equal to 300 pg/mL, adjusted normalized serum total calcium (Ca) greater than or equal to 8.4 to less than 10.2 mg/dL, serum phosphorus (P) less than or equal to 6.5 mg/dL.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with a recent history of severe cardiovascular or hepatic disease, uncontrolled hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes
  • Patients who have received a parathyroidectomy or ethanol infusion within the prior year
  • Patients taking drugs that affect iPTH, calcium or bone metabolism
  • Patients who will need to take chronic doses (greater than or equal to 2 consecutive weeks) of cytochrome P450 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, grapefruit products) or inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampicin)
  • Female patients who are pregnant, possibly pregnant, wish to become pregnant, or participate in breastfeeding during the study period.

Arms & Interventions

Paricalcitol

Participants received paricalcitol at an initial dose of 2 µg, and maxacalcitol placebo administered 3 times per week at each hemodialysis via intravenous catheter for 12 weeks. After 2 weeks the dose could be adjusted ± 1 µg based on protocol-specified criteria up to a maximum of 7 µg.

Intervention: paricalcitol

Paricalcitol

Participants received paricalcitol at an initial dose of 2 µg, and maxacalcitol placebo administered 3 times per week at each hemodialysis via intravenous catheter for 12 weeks. After 2 weeks the dose could be adjusted ± 1 µg based on protocol-specified criteria up to a maximum of 7 µg.

Intervention: maxacalcitol placebo

Maxacalcitol

Participants received maxacalcitol at an initial dose of 5 µg (iPTH \< 500 pg/mL at Screening) or 10 µg (iPTH ≥ 500 pg/mL at Screening), and paricalcitol placebo administered 3 times per week at each hemodialysis via intravenous catheter for 12 weeks. After 2 weeks the dose could be adjusted ± 2.5 µg based on protocol-specified criteria up to a maximum of 20 µg.

Intervention: maxacalcitol

Maxacalcitol

Participants received maxacalcitol at an initial dose of 5 µg (iPTH \< 500 pg/mL at Screening) or 10 µg (iPTH ≥ 500 pg/mL at Screening), and paricalcitol placebo administered 3 times per week at each hemodialysis via intravenous catheter for 12 weeks. After 2 weeks the dose could be adjusted ± 2.5 µg based on protocol-specified criteria up to a maximum of 20 µg.

Intervention: paricalcitol placebo

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Target Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) and Without Hypercalcemia

Time Frame: iPTH measured during the last three weeks of treatment (Weeks 11, 12, and 13). Calcium measured throughout the study (Weeks 1-13).

The target iPTH range was 60-180 pg/mL, based on the average of the last 3 weeks of treatment, and with no hypercalcemia during the treatment phase. Hypercalcemia was defined as at least 1 corrected calcium value \> 11.0 mg/dL or at least 2 corrected calcium values ≥ 10.5 mg/dL. iPTH was measured before the first dialysis session of each week and analyzed by the central laboratory.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percentage of Participants With ≥ 50% Reduction in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) From Baseline and With No Hypercalcemia(Baseline to the last three weeks of treatment (Weeks 11, 12, and 13) for iPTH. Calcium measured throughout the study (Weeks 1-13).)
  • Percentage of Participants With Target Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH)(The last three weeks of treatment (Weeks 11, 12, and 13))
  • Percentage of Participants With ≥ 50% Reduction in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) From Baseline(Baseline to the last three weeks of treatment (Weeks 11, 12, and 13))
  • Number of Visits at Which Participants Achieved iPTH Control With ≥ 50% Reduction in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) From Baseline(Weeks 2 to 13)
  • Number of Visits at Which Participants Achieved iPTH Control in the Target Range of 60 to 180 pg/mL(Weeks 2 to 13)
